TRANSLATION:
Great Western Railway, based in Swindon, runs services linking London to the south-west of Great Britain and South Wales. It will come back under public ownership on 13 December. A spokesperson for the operator said they welcomed the clarity provided by the announcement and they would continue to work closely with the Department for Transport. The Department described the move as a "significant moment." According to them it would place passengers, rather than shareholders, "at the heart of our railways". Great Western Railway has been running trains across the south-west for 20 years.

TRANSLATION
The Three Lighter Lantern was gifted to Torpoint by the family of Sir Reginald Pole Carew as a thanksgiving present after his return from the Boer War. But when Cornwall Council set out to replace the lantern as part of a Cornwall-wide LED replacement programme, the move was described as "outrageous." Now the lantern has been saved after the intervention of councillor Rob Parsonage, who represents Torpoint on the council. He confirmed the planning application had been withdrawn.The Three Lighter Lantern originally stood in Sparrow Park but was moved to Elliot Square when the Ellis Memorial was erected in 1898.

TRANSLATION
The event marks the end of winter and the coming summer, and has been celebrated for more than 200 years. Nigel Pascoe, chair of the Helston Flora Day Association, said 190 couples danced at midday which make it the the biggest ever participation. He added 1,100 young people took part in the earlier Children's Dance so with all that number of children dancing, Flora Day is safe for many years to come.Helston Flora Day is celebrated every year on 8 May, unless the date falls on a Sunday, the Sabbath, or Monday, Market Day, in which case it is held on the preceding Saturday.The celebrations begin at the Guildhall at 07:00 with the Early Morning or First Dance which was, in times gone by, the dance for workers and servants.

That’s all from me, have a good week.
